December 3, 20223 yr I need help with this, please. I cannot connect to MSFS with the LAN cable, it gets stuck at the end and cannot pass after the first screen. As soon as I switch on Wifi it does connect immediately. Everything else works perfectly, any software, any game but this. If I use Wifi I have no issues connecting and firing up the sim or anything else on my PC. I would appreciate any guidance you can give me. Thank you! 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.
December 3, 20223 yr Administrators Is this a "known" good LAN cable and not a crossover cable?

December 3, 20223 yr Author It's a good one, for high speed given by the internet provider for high speed, 1 GB. It's something that I can't understand, especially when everything else is perfect. 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.
December 3, 20223 yr This is a network issue of some sort. The router your LAN cable is plugged into - does that have some sort of fancy firewall? Are you doing outbound packet filtering or something? Also, when you plug in the lan cable, do you disable wifi?

December 3, 20223 yr It’s rough to try to troubleshoot without being there, my theory is that its a firewall issue. Your pc’s connection to the router has a different IP address with Wi-Fi vs LAN, and if Msfs has port forwarding requirements for your firewall, they only apply to one of the ip addresses, not both, so you need to duplicate any port forwarding in your windows firewall-AV suite-router
December 3, 20223 yr As a quick test of that theory, disable any windows or AV firewalls temporarily, and see if you can connect then.
December 3, 20223 yr Or start with an easy one. Connect the LAN, restart your PC (just in case for assigning an IP address from scratch) and then open google. Well or avsim. In other words: do you have an internet connection at all or is really just MSFS affected? If the latter then I am also pretty sure it’s a firewall issue. Do you use any 3rd party firewall or windows default firewall?
